Zhong Wenqing was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Zhou Chaoyang was a member of the Lu family. He couldn't help but laugh: "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I didn't even think Chaoyang was a member of the Lu family. He is just our child."
Zhou Nanguang had the same feeling. Zhou Chaoyang was not interested in the Lu family. After meeting his uncles and aunts, he treated them like strangers.
After the Lu family left, Zhou Chaoyang was still happy as if nothing had happened, so they often forgot that the Lu family came to recognize their relatives.
In the morning, Zhou Nanguang told Zhou Chaoyang that the Lu family wanted her to return to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year.
Zhou Chaoyang immediately refused: "Why should I go to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year? I don't know anyone there. It would be boring for me to celebrate the New Year there. Besides, although they are my father's family, my father was separated from them since he was a child due to the war, so I don't have much affection for them."
Firstly, she had no feelings for the people there, and secondly, when she thought that the people there were Lu Changfeng's family, she didn't want to go.
How could she accept that the person she liked turned out to be her cousin?
Zhou Nanguang looked at Zhou Chaoyang and said, "Although there is no affection, you still have to go there. It is also to help your father fulfill his wish. He must want to find his family."
Zhou Chaoyang pouted: "I don't want to go either. It's all unfamiliar to me, and I still have to go there to celebrate the New Year."
The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt: "I haven't spent the New Year at home for a long time. I'll talk about it after the New Year."
Zhong Wenqing felt a little soft-hearted: "Then don't go, spend the New Year at home first."
She also advised Zhou Nanguang: "We can understand that they want to recognize their relatives, but we must also respect Chaoyang's wishes and not force the child."
Zhou Chaoyang nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I haven't even seen my biological parents, they are all strangers, and they are even more strangers to me."
Zhou Nanguang could only agree: "Okay, I'll call the Lu family today to tell them."
After breakfast, Sheng Chengan was left behind to accompany Zhong Wenqing and the others to look after the children, while Sheng Anning and Zhou Chaoyang went to school.
On the way, Zhou Chaoyang kept talking to Sheng An Ning: "Anyway, I won't go to the Lu family. I don't want to see Lu Changfeng either. It will be awkward to meet him in the future."
Sheng An Ning thought it was okay: "You should be thankful that you and Lu Changfeng never had a beginning, otherwise it would be awkward."
Zhou Chaoyang didn't think so: "But I kissed him, ah!! When I think about it, I wish there was a crack in the ground for me to crawl into."
Sheng An Ning burst out laughing: "You were doing artificial respiration, not kissing. You are a young man of the new era, why are you still so feudal and superstitious?"
Zhou Chaoyang continued to mutter to herself. She just didn't want to see Lu Changfeng. She would feel unilaterally embarrassed if they did.
…
Zhou Luancheng went out a little later than Zhou Chaoyang and Sheng Anning. He chatted with Sheng Chengan for a few words before leaving home.
As soon as I left the compound, I met Luo Anran.
Luo Anran greeted Zhou Luancheng with a smile as if nothing had happened. There was a slap mark on one side of her face, which was a little red and swollen. Her smile had a kind of tragic beauty.
In fact, she had already left home. She saw Zhou Luancheng return home last night, so she was waiting near the gate early in the morning. She watched Zhou Chaoyang and Sheng Anning go out together, and waited for a while before Zhou Luancheng came.
She knew that Zhou Luancheng didn't like people who were too calculating, so she pretended nothing had happened.
Zhou Luancheng saw the slap mark on her face, looked away, and nodded: "Good morning."
Luo Anran smiled and said, "I haven't seen you recently. Are you busy? You seem to have lost weight. No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health, otherwise Aunt Zhou will be upset."
Zhou Luancheng avoided the topic: "I'll go to work first."
He didn't even give Luo Anran a chance to speak and just walked away.
Since there is no possibility for him and Luo Anran anymore, they can't give each other any illusions. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel sad. He just feels more helpless.
If he were alone, marrying Luo Anran would not be impossible.
But he still has a family, and he can't let his parents become a laughing stock in the compound.
I sighed in my heart, but left without looking back.
Luo Anran's tears instantly fell. She didn't expect Zhou Luancheng to be so heartless. She thought he would at least ask her how the scar on her face came about.
She could just cry and let him know how pitiful her current situation was.
But he didn't even ask, and they all said he was polite and gentle, but in fact he had no heart at all.
She was unwilling to give up just like that!
When Zhou Luancheng arrived at the office, someone just delivered a file to him: "Boss, this is about the case of Zhang Baojiang. There is new progress."
"What's going on?"
"Zhang Baojiang's son Zhang Hongbing recently had dinner at Hongbinlou and boasted that he was going to buy a color TV. In short, he started spending money lavishly."
Zhou Luancheng knew the situation of Zhang Baojiang's family clearly. Although he had a job, his wife and two sons did not. Zhang Hongbing had been working in the countryside for several years and had no place to stay when he came back.
Zhang Hongmin disliked the tiring work at the coal yard and skipped work every day. Finally, he stayed at home and became a street urchin.
It is indeed difficult to support the whole family with just Zhang Baojiang's salary.
Now that Zhang Baojiang is dead, Zhang Hongbing has suddenly become rich, and there is something fishy going on everywhere.
The people below looked at Zhou Luancheng and said, "Boss, do you want to arrest Zhang Hongbing and interrogate him?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "No need for now, just keep watching and see how he spends his money to see if he really has that much money."
After returning to the office, he opened Zhang Baojiang's file and looked at it again.
In it, Zhang Baojiang explained in detail how he had violated Mu Xiaowan's mother, and in the end, fearing that his crime would be exposed, he accused Mu Xiaowan's father of killing her mother.
It looks like there is nothing wrong with it.
Zhou Luancheng looked at it carefully for a long time, then looked at the time. It was almost noon, so he decided to go to the school to find Mu Xiaowan and talk to her again. She must know something else.
I packed my things, borrowed a car from the company, and went to the school to find Mu Xiaowan.
From afar, she saw Mu Xiaowan carrying a lunch box to the cafeteria, but Sheng An Ning was not with her. When she was about to go over, she saw a male classmate running over attentively, saying something to Mu Xiaowan with a smile, and handing over the lunch box in his hand.
Zhou Luancheng put his hands in his pockets and looked for a while, then called out, "Mu Xiaowan."
